Have your tried putting in a few strands of paracord i to the tube? When you need to empty it, you can grab the loose ends near the opening , and pull it out, helping to extract the guts.
Nice job and way to think outside the box. I saw on another channel a 1/4 sized 55gal plastic drum. Like they use at gas stations for spill kits. It was water tight screw on lid. And vote be buried just under the surface. Thumbs up to you
You can get food grade 5 gallon buckets with lids for free at the bakery part of many grocery stores. All of that stuff would fit in them and you throw a few oxygen absorbers in them and your set. If you bury them in the ground with flat rocks on top of them critters can not dig down to get to them and they will last for years.
So I'm guessing that if you decide to go with 4", you should take a 4" plastic ring (cut away from a piece of pipe) and take it with you to the store when you buy supplies. If the stuff passes through, you buy it. If it doesn't, well...
I am more concerned with wild hogs sniffing it out and ruining everything. It has been stashed over two years, and I haven't checked up on it. I tried 6 months ago, but a homeless guy was camping nearby.
Why not buy dry food (instant rice, dehy refried beans, Ramen, dehy hash browns, peanut butter power, freeze-dried veggies, freeze-dried meat, sugar, Tang drink mix...) and re-package into small (pint and quart) Mylar bags with oxy absorbers? And individually labeling each bag of course. Little bags can easily fit inside a 4" diameter tube. Why not buy small jars and bottles of olive oil, liquor, honey, jam ... and seal these in Mylar too so if ground water leaks into your cache tube, the metal lids won't rust and the paper labels peel off? Small bottles and jars are also less likely to break when dropped than are the larger bottles and jars. Mylar packaging of useful, nonfood items, such as butane lighters, candles, knives, batteries, etc. to prevent water damage makes good sense too. Another thing to consider is the less metal you have in your cache tube, the less likely someone with a metal detector will decide your cache location is worth digging up.
I have met 1000s of preppers alot of people can't afford dried food yes it's the best way but you dumbass people need to dig into who and what company's own ALL of the preppers foods if you do spend the time you will realize that EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM are owned by the same fucking evil people who want you DEAD. to all the people that buy poisoned food from company's like Patriot death pantry and so on WAKE THE FUCK UP BECAUSE ALL YOU FUCKING MORONS WHO THINK I HAVE 5 years of good healthy dry food lol your gonna die first. It amazes me how stupid the best preppers think they are ahead of humanity YOU ARE ALL THE ELITES DUMBASS CHILDREN... IM REALLY SORRY TO TELL ALL OF YOU THOUGHT TO BE READY PREPPERS BUT YOU WALKED RIGHT INTO THE DEVILS CLUTHES.... THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY TO SURVIVE..... KILL WHAT YOU EAT GROW WHAT YOU EAT AND CLEAN YOUR OWN WATER OR THE BEST OF THE BEST PREPPERS WILL DIE,........ THINK ABOUT IT WHY WOULD THEY PREPARE YOU LOLOLOL GOID LUCK DUMBASSES
I like the idea of doing this sort of stuff but does anyone think there will ever be a time when we will need to call on supplies that are buried in the ground somewhere. I kind of doubt it, but this would be something I'd do just so my grandson could dig it up long after I'm dead and gone.
The things you want to hide in the cache are great... but most have short shelf lifes, or have metal lids. Not great combos in a cache... and if you are out that means you are going to stay away for a while, right.. well you might think of heirloom seeds for long term.... and get things you know you will eat... another thing is get books on a chip and make sure you have a way to get to read then, cause you will be needing knowledge of how to do things(can, make medicines, garden, first aid,....)
Good thinking to do a survival cache at the cabin...in case of fire it is wise to have one...just a tip....sealed gear in vacuum seal bags... and comm...like a small cell phone if there is a signal....and get it at the opposite where the dominant winds are....buried is best in case of forest fire...best luck to you...and use smaller package...cordage would also be nice...ramen noodles crushed works too....
10" inch schedule 40 PVC would also make a good choice. Big enough to hold most items and a smaller diameter than a five gallon bucket. You can cut your length to fit just about anything. The 10" cap, screw cap and female adapter would be a greater cost, but worth it in the long run. After the cache runs out you can use it for water.
For about $20, shipped, you can get the tall 30mm mortar cans. Basically the size of a .50 cal can, but it stands 3 1/2 feet tall. Gasket sealed. Give it a coat of heavy duty protectant, and it will last for decades underground. Even left bare I would bet 10-12 years. Big enough to add a AR-15 broken down.
Great camo paint job! If you use plumber's white tape, it should seal it water tight, if not use plumber's putty on the thread also. By looking at your land, if you have to bug out, the rest of are in deep S---!
Peanut butter is an excellent source of fat and protein, but don't get the regular pb as it has the bad fats that will clog your arteries. Spam is ok in moderation, but again get the 25% less fat / sodium.
Nice video. I like the setup and the painted cache tube. You kept it simple, but you made a good point and offered some food for thought. I always figured that one may need to have different size cache tubes or use alternate containers in order to accommodate (Fit) the gear and supplies we want to pack in them. Your demonstration focused on food and I realize maybe those are just a few examples for the video, (I'm sure you eat other foods) but the large container of pepper is a good idea. I'd pack a box of other spices, but the same size containers, in a cache for personal use and even as barter. And the canned meats are great. I think some dry foods should be added such as rice, beans, and canned veggies and fruits. That way one cache provides a good assortment. On a negative note, I personally don't like JIF. My favorite is Skippy Super Chunky Peanut Butter. Peter Pan or Clover Valley are okay too. Otherwise, a thumbs up!
S. Hansen vertical if possible, in order to leave the smallest trace of its presence. If you're worried about metal detectors finding it then "seed" the area with uninteresting cheap junk, like an old vehicle starter motor, or a vcr. Makes it easier for you to find with a detector and map as well.
We all learn from our mistakes, it's part of life. But thanks for sharing with us your insights. I was wondering if you be segregating the items as you bury them in different containers?
I built two, so the plan was to have for food and related items and the other for basic survival items: fire kit, knives, flashlights, tarps, etc. I may put a 6" cache tube together for the larger items.
Use 6" at the least. And make sure you have honey. It never spoils and can be used for medicinal as well as food purposes. Also super glue and medical supplies.
Great video. Thanks for taking the time to show all of the different items you can put in. I have been thinking about make one and put on my channel. I just sub your channel.
Reference Cache lessons learned. Your on to something buddy. Recommend you use that 4 inch cache at your location to store valuables, ammo, etc... Things that are heavy to carry during evacuation. Won't hold much, but it won't go anywhere either. If you want to bury food, get some vittles vaults and caulk around the outer joints. You can get them fairly large.Splice
Could always empty the contents into smaller containers that fit then make a second one if it was considerably cheaper and store in there too. Adapt and overcome :) but a good lesson nonetheless. Thanks D
You probably already have extra pint jars so maybe transfer the items that can't fit into tube into those on hand pint jars like the peanut butter and the spices. As for the rest if larger tube is not in budget, time to think inside the tube. Good luck Prepper Suburbanite.
I bought 55 gallon food grade removable clamp-on top drums for $10 each. They had held vegetable oils used by a soap making company. Sprayed the drums and lids outer sides with rustoleum rusty metal primer, then hand painted my camo design with foam throwaway brushes using 1 qt. cans of satin latex exterior house paints I had tinted to camo looking colors, black, tan, green etc.. The interiors were painted already, and were simply cleaned of their veggie oil. I replaced the lid seals with neoprene foam adhesive weather stripping. Tightening the band clamps bolts sealed the drums pretty darn well. I welded chain links to the clamp bolts and padlock a chain around a tree and to the drum clamp bolt links. This way I can look and see that it has not been entered and don't need to open it to check it. The only issue is temperature extremes, so you shouldn't put in things which cannot freeze or stand hot summers temps. Bushes and foliage can shield from the sun somewhat. The 3 drums are hard to spot in a thicket of brush. All 3 cost me about $50 total to put together.
You are looking at the problem the wrong way round. First find a suitable container then pack it , not choose a narrow pipe then try to make things fit Pipe and fittings are expensive, lots of buckets or drums with lids that are inexpensive.
@Timberland1 Most guns won't fit in a 4" pipe. An AR requires at least an 8" tube which will set you back around $130 to build including the end caps. Here's an option I'm surprised no one has brought up. It's 12" in diameter and about 4 feet long, truly water proof, less likely to crack in extreme cold, and already built for this purpose. Better yet, it costs less than building your own. Here's a link for you. www.amazon.com/HQ-ISSUE-Burial-Tube-46-5/dp/B06XGZJNHJ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1549038497&sr=8-1&keywords=burial+tube Here's an even cheaper option for smaller items. www.amazon.com/MTM-SAC-Survivor-Ammo-Can/dp/B00AU67M5K/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1549038497&sr=8-2&keywords=burial+tube
Please don't store propane in a cache or any where that isn't safe. the smell may attract animals. I would tend to stash tools. knife, shelter, fire, container, clothes, axe/saw. 2 days of food wont mater much. alcohol would.
Supply caches are really not meant to hold much. Roughly just enough to keep you on the go to get you to the next cache, or your destination. Do you need 6 months worth of peanut butter and jelly? Are you going to be carrying that much bread? How much pepper do you need on your canned chicken? What do you need the maple syrup for? Will you be carrying 20# of pancake mix? Do you really need a whole 750ml bottle of liquor? For more than one reason that should be obvious, if you're on the move, you probably shouldn't be drinking much alcohol. And what's with the Mason jars? All of those larger size containers of stuff is just extra weight. Really not seeing the logic behind some of these choices for a "survival cache".
My father's acceptance and love
That's not gonna fit
Have your tried putting in a few strands of paracord i to the tube?
When you need to empty it, you can grab the loose ends near the opening , and pull it out, helping to extract the guts.
Great Idea, thanks!

That's an awesome camo pattern. Thanks for the tip!

Walmart cake department used 5 gallon bucket with lid....$1
Ground Prepper Thanks for the info! Never knew that.

Good thought! Thanks
Or buy 6in pvc. Just saying
Use Teflon tape to help seal threads would be water tight.
Great idia
I wanna do that knowing my luck I'd forget where I left it or someone else will find it lol great video
I am more concerned with wild hogs sniffing it out and ruining everything. It has been stashed over two years, and I haven't checked up on it. I tried 6 months ago, but a homeless guy was camping nearby.
Looks like a shoulder mounted launcher.
It looks like just a few items would stack up quick and after 4 or 5 items your out of room. I’m going with sealable 5gal buckets.
Why not buy dry food (instant rice, dehy refried beans, Ramen, dehy hash browns, peanut butter power, freeze-dried veggies, freeze-dried meat, sugar, Tang drink mix...) and re-package into small (pint and quart) Mylar bags with oxy absorbers?

All your suggestions are great and I thank you.
The other thing that MORON could do is buy a SIX INCH pipe at the OUTSET! LOL!
I have met 1000s of preppers alot of people can't afford dried food yes it's the best way but you dumbass people need to dig into who and what company's own ALL of the preppers foods if you do spend the time you will realize that EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM are owned by the same fucking evil people who want you DEAD. to all the people that buy poisoned food from company's like Patriot death pantry and so on WAKE THE FUCK UP BECAUSE ALL YOU FUCKING MORONS WHO THINK I HAVE 5 years of good healthy dry food lol your gonna die first.

For the peanut butter and stuff like that you can just put them in the small mason jars
Some good tips there
Don't forget the can opener for canned chicken
what about the tuna in the packets, survival tabs
Go to a plumbing store, they have 6" and 8" tubes!
Vulgar Display of Truth ok
Good thinking to do a survival cache at the cabin...in case of fire it is wise to have one...just a tip....sealed gear in vacuum seal bags... and comm...like a small cell phone if there is a signal....and get it at the opposite where the dominant winds are....buried is best in case of forest fire...best luck to you...and use smaller package...cordage would also be nice...ramen noodles crushed works too....
Some say 4" is never enough i couldn't possibly comment
lol
You're thinking what I'm thinking, LOLOLOL!!!!!
Use pipe dope for the threads on the pvc. It will make it water tight also it will keep the threads from getting full of gunk.
10" inch schedule 40 PVC would also make a good choice. Big enough to hold most items and a smaller diameter than a five gallon bucket. You can cut your length to fit just about anything.
The 10" cap, screw cap and female adapter would be a greater cost, but worth it in the long run.
After the cache runs out you can use it for water.
10" would be a better option than a 6" - Good Thought!

Agreed on both points. Thanks
or use a six inch or even eight inch pvc pipe?
WHY DID YOU PAINT IS SERIOUSLY

how deep should you bury it and should it be vertical or horizontal
S. Hansen vertical if possible, in order to leave the smallest trace of its presence. If you're worried about metal detectors finding it then "seed" the area with uninteresting cheap junk, like an old vehicle starter motor, or a vcr.
Makes it easier for you to find with a detector and map as well.
that's a great cache from PVC pipe, love the camo, would smaller jars fit? interesting vid, cheers
6464 air not a bad idea but the pipe will sweat and cause problems I have done this before
Have you done a video on making that container and painting it like that? I'm new to your channel.
We all learn from our mistakes, it's part of life. But thanks for sharing with us your insights.
I was wondering if you be segregating the items as you bury them in different containers?
I built two, so the plan was to have for food and related items and the other for basic survival items: fire kit, knives, flashlights, tarps, etc. I may put a 6" cache tube together for the larger items.
If you can find it 8to 10 inch pipes work better can be shorter
Use 6" at the least. And make sure you have honey. It never spoils and can be used for medicinal as well as food purposes. Also super glue and medical supplies.
One inch wider pipe ?
Thank you.
Smaller items maybe🤔
how about a 5 gal pail with a gamma seal?
Thanks a great idea - the one draw back is the large size requiring a deep hole to dig, but other than that a great suggestion, thanks!
No problem. Get some 8" pvc & never look back.
do ya... eat a lotta pepper?
Sure do!
lol, thats cool.
Just made me laugh so hard, lol
Good video Frend !
Thank you!
Good to know. Nice cammo job. I could barely see it.
Tom, I thought he was just holding his hands up......
if you want to seal the ends use plumbers tape.
Thank you good idea ,how about a buryied box that's water proof duct tape and heavy duty bags
All things are possible
Thanks you beat me to my question.
Very helpful!! Ty!!
Great video. Thanks for taking the time to show all of the different items you can put in. I have been thinking about make one and put on my channel. I just sub your channel.

wouldn't it be better to bury it few inches underground,just remember where it is
Dare i suggest buying smaller items? Come on....
Can you fit a rifle in one?
Just dry foods and other items that are high in calories and nutrition. Batteries clothes fire starting goods and weapons.
👏😂 so u went backwards. U made a pipe 1st then😂

lol simple fix buy smaller size food items or a bigger pvc tube
Booze lol yessss
Stop complaining about things not fitting, buy smaller packages. You don't need the american oversized packages.
the cia know just where you put it give intell to the fbi cops to lock you up bot scout dont do this camping not braking the law tip
